8.15 Configuring BGP Route Dampening
BGP route dampening can be configured to suppress unstable routes.
Applicable Environment
The main cause of route instability is route flapping. A route is considered to be flapping when
it repeatedly appears and then disappears in the routing table. BGP is generally applied to
complex networks where routes change frequently. Frequent route flapping consumes lots of
bandwidth and CPU resources and even seriously affects network operations.
BGP route dampening prevents frequent route flapping by using a penalty value to measure route
stability. When a route flaps for the first time, a penalty value is assigned to the route. Later,
each time the route flaps, the penalty value of the route increases by a specific value. The greater
the penalty value, the less stable the route. If the penalty value of a route exceeds the pre-defined
threshold, the route will not be advertised until the penalty value of the route reduces to the reuse
threshold.
